    Home Bargains Employee, March 2022

  • Best thing

    Staff discount, the people I work with and going home

    Worst thing

    Management talk and treat their staff like rubbish. Made to feel guilty for doing overtime. Special treatment for managements favourite members of staff. Expected to work past your shift. Made to feel guilty about saying no to going in on your day off. Not long enough breaks for how many hours your expected to work. Your expected to work after your shift ends. Too much pressure is put on staff to get several tasks completed in an Unrealistic amount of time.

    Home Bargains Employee, February 2022

  • Best thing

    Short shifts, get them over and done with.
    Only contracted 8 hours which is perfect as I’m a student. Pay is better than other places for my age.

    Worst thing

    Management- some are rude, don’t speak to you, don’t help…
    Too much work. Managers expect us to get all stock out and done.
    Not enough staff in when there should be.
    Unpaid breaks.
    Often get the bad late shifts all the time!
    Shifts change last minute.
    Very stressful environment - not nice especially since college is stressful.
    Usually always weekend shifts. No time to relax or socialise with others out of work.
